You Will Love This!

These pistachio shells are really cool looking and will be very useful in designing, but when you really think about it, the important part it was created for is missing. God created shells to protect seeds that would perpetuate species. Once the right season is here, the shells return to the soil, but the seed is changed into all kinds of magnificent trees, flowers and other things. The shell is necessary, but the seed is the most important part. They are missing here.

When God created each of us, He left an empty space inside that we would always long to fill, and the only thing that would ever satisfy that hunger would be our Heavenly Father. It's how He draws us to Himself. It's that empty place that prompts us to seek Him, come to have an intimate relationship with Him, accept His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, as our Savior and be saved eternally, ever to be with Him who loves us.

We all seek to fill that space. We try human relationships, entertainment, money, power, fame, drugs, alcohol, pets, hobbies, travel, education, all kinds of things. But nothing ever truly fills that emptiness or satisfies us more than momentarily. Then we start longing again. We are empty shells longing to be filled.

Are you an empty shell today? There is no better time than right now to close your eyes to this world and pray from the depths of your heart to your loving Father in Heaven. Tell Him you are deeply sorry for all the sin you have committed and ask Him to wash you clean from those sins in the blood Jesus shed to pay for your sins. Ask Jesus to be your Savior, committing to love and obey Him all the days of your life, because you are so happy He is forgiving you and you no longer face eternity in hellfire and damnation as we deserve, but now have a sure hope of heaven and joy forever. Then find a Christian who will immerse you in water baptism in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, as the Bible commands.

This is the first step in falling ever deeper in love with our Creator, growing deeper in that intimate love relationship He created you for. The rest is a choice too. You are saved now, but how close your relationship is with Him depends on you. His answer is YES! You choose. If you do nothing for the rest of your life, you won't get very close to Him and may still feel that emptiness, because you never actually developed more than a saving relationship with Him. But...

"You will seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul." Deuteronomy 4:29

"You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

Like any relationship, you will get out of it what you put into it. Say you have met a person. If you never spend time with them, never talk to them, don't learn about them, don't do things together, you will never be more than nodding acquaintances. But if you do all these things, you will become closer, learn to love them, enjoy them so much more. His answer to your intimacy with Him is always YES. What is yours?
